The Tohatsu is a Nissan.
I think the Nissan is a Tohatsu is more correct. I've had a 9.8 for about a
year. Had a little trouble with it in Alaska where water would get into the
fuel. Other than that its been great and you can't get a lighter outboard at
9.8hp.

Just got one as a replacement for an 8 hp Johnson on my 11 foot zodiac.
WOW! It's a great engine so far ... light, quiet for a 2 stroke and
seems to be fairly fuel efficient.
The performance increase of my zodiac is tremendous.

the
Tohatsu product? Are they good or do they have problems? Should I pony
up a
$200 more dollars and get a Mercury or Evinrude?
